Doctor Faustus

ISBN: 0451515021

Binding: Paperback

Condition: Fair in Fair dust jacket

Notations made in pen throughout text of play, ; Signet Classics; Doctor Faustus was probably written in 1592, although the exact date of its composition is uncertain, since it was not published until a decade later. The idea of an individual selling his or her soul to the devil for knowledge is an old motif in Christian folklore, one that had become attached to the historical persona of Johannes Faustus, a disreputable astrologer who lived in Germany sometime in the early 1500s. The immediate source of Marlowe’s play seems to be the anonymous German work Historia von D. Iohan Fausten of 158...

Notations throughout. ; The Pelican Shakespeare; Edited by Stephen Orgel

Macbeth is a tragedy and is considered one of Shakespeare's darkest and most powerful works.
